Re: Daft Punk 2013 Tour Dates.

A long time ago i worked at a radio station called Groove Radio. In 1997 Daft Punk stopped by and visited one of our djs, Jeff K. He interviewed them for a few minutes and then let them mix for a bit. Jeff just put it up on the internetz.

EDIT: That is hilarious that their first gig in LA was the promote the movie The Saint. Also, this mix is a blast!

Before Jeff K moved out to LA to work for Groove he worked at a station in Dallas and ran a mix show called Edge Club. Edge Club began broadcasting in 1991 and this show is what exposed me to dance music. Mad respect for Jeff K!

Re: Daft Punk 2013 Tour Dates.

Who knew they liked James Blake? Really great interview with Daft Punk boys...

Yenigun: You said this song is something that conjures up a great deal of emotion in you. I'm curious, what is it about James Blake's music that stirs up these feelings inside?

Bangalter: It's pretty much inexplicable. Probably because it's the magic of the music. But I think James Blake is an example of a new songwriter — a new artist, a new musician, a new producer — that manages to express beautiful things with his voice and with modern technology, with synthesizers, drum machines and electronic instruments. And that's, for us, the perfect example of how we love to interact with electronic music instruments. Our record does not have a lot of electronic music instruments. There are a few tracks that have more of it, you know, but it's true that we're living in a time where we're not feeling really touched by electronic music that fails to carry those kind of emotions. But it's always good to listen to a song that is made with electronic instruments and feel something deep inside. So that's why we really like him.

This is my first impression as well. I am totally underwhelmed. I had thought they would be remixing them into songs that sounded more like classic Daft Punk. I have no further hope for the rest of the remixes...sigh...

Re: Daft Punk 2013 Tour Dates.

I would think that, as an artist, a remix of your work would be a complement...At least when it's done by somebody else. If you have to remix it yourself, that's like saying, you may have fucked up the first time and you're trying to save face... Does my disappointment come off as harsh?

I wouldn't say it's harsh. Wrong, yes... but not harsh.

Artists do it all the time. Sometimes it's to take a song of theirs and make it appropriate for a different context. For instance, look at Trentemoller. His tracks Moan and Always Something Better are amazing. But then, so are his remixes of the same tune that turn them in to big club numbers.
